I have 4 Zena's gift plants in my garden. I got the seed from Marsha. The plants are about 7 feet tall and have 6 or 7 huge tomatoes each. The plants are healthy and look nice. They were planted out on april 17th so they are 58 days today. The fruits are close to blushing i think and they are beautiful. Looking forward to tasting them very soon. I will be planting these in future years i am sure. It is very early for such a large tomato.
Thany you so much Marsha and Karen. Lovely name for this tomato karen. |

I am kicking myself for sowing only one seed- I lost ZG to TSWV just a few weeks ago
I will plant multiples next year, count on it |

Very delicate skin, they do not hold well once ripe but as far as I’m concerned that’s their only flaw. Karen |

This is Zena's gift at 64 days from set out. A huge tomato. These were planted out on april 17th. I have never had such a large tomato mature this quickly. They beat even early girl in my garden this year. They taste great too. A very acidic tomatoey taste that i like a lot. Last edited by Johnniemar; June 20, 2018 at 04:10 PM. |

I grew it Karen. Here's a pic of mine. It was early for me as well. Very nice looking and old fashioned tomatoey tasting. I liked it. Mine did not have quite the same production level as Johnnie's plant however.
